Sober time App
This app has community, part of it where people talk about addiction and, what helped them... It helped me not to relapse in the beginning, multiple times and helped to stay on a path...
People say AA helps, but I never been there, just go and listen, they will not bite or make you drink, usually.
In my environment, 5 people were drinking heavily, I had no support in stopping and I had no possibility to move somewhere else... Now I'm just over 3 years sober.
For me I replaced alcohol with natural juice as alcohol has a lot of calories and similar stuff to it, just without alcohol in it and need something fizzy extra, even sparkling water was good enough to trick my body in receiving same calories ( not from water...), yes I had to cut it down later, but for that time it was 'best worst option'.
AND MAIN BIT, you need to find what to occupy your head with instead of drinking.
There is no such thing as one sip or one drink only, if you want totally stop it.
What's your drinking environment like? My guess, because you felt you had to leave in the first place (ie couldn't handle it) that it wouldn't be good for you to go back to it. You might have to make some changes in your life? Can the person or people that influence you stop or control themselves for your sake? Maybe you need some outside help (like AA or some support group)? I think if you're worried about it, then you have reason to be worried. You might need more time away before you're "strong" enough to be able to handle it, without being tempted.
An alcoholic I once knew said "if you sit in a barbers long enough you'll get a hair cut". What he meant of course is you have to distance yourself completely from temptation, if you've a drink problem you can't sit in a pub and bullshit yourself you'll only drink coke because you will give in to temptation. Sometimes you even have to break free of your friends so you're not in that drinking circle.
Distraction is very important. Keep your mind fixed on something else. Also try to see the negative things about drinking that will affect your life in a negative way. And maybe try to find something else that can replace the need of drinking (other kind of drink or food). Don’t be to hard on yourself.

take whatever alcohol you have at home and flush it down the toilet or pour it down the sink. if the alcohol isn't there then the temptation won't be as hard. oh don't get me wrong as a recovering addict who recently slipped for a few days after going through a traumatic loss of a family pet the temptation will always be there to start drinking. you just have to take one day at a time actually one minute of every day at a time. look being sober is not easy far from it. i was sober from 2007 until recently in July 2021 when i slipped because of the family pet loss. there are certain things that will actually break you and break your sobriety. all you can do is hop back on the wagon of sobriety and try again. it's like riding a bicycle when you fall down you just don't give up. you get back on and start again. look i wish you the best of luck in your recovery and sobriety or whatever it is you want to go through. Good luck and God bless
Good question. You will have to make a point to avoid the "beer bully's" who want to push you to drink. Just tell people you want to take a break from drinking and don't tolerate anyone who gives you shit.
Alcohol just drags you down, costs a lot (at least for men), and makes you age.
It's called self control. You CAN say NO to a drink! Drink ANYTHING else!
My house is full of liquor & beer of any & all varieties at any given time. My mom was a bartender, I'm a bartender, it just takes will power!
Just dont do it. Be strong. Find hobbies. Join AA. Get support. Talk to people. Workout. Go for walks. Order non alcoholic drinks if people are pressuring you to drink. Virgin cocktails look the same as ones with liquor
Go to a gym and workout instead. You will not be around the booze and drinking and working out do not mix very well. When you see how much better you feel you will not want to drink anymore.
look at the drunk people around you and what idiots they appear to be when you are sober yourself. that might work
Its hard but self control is the main thing if u don't want to drink then put your foot down and learn to say no
Keep the home empty from such products. Nothing to drink, no risk of drinking it.
You need to find something to do, obsessively until it goes away.
If you have been taking like 3 bottles a day, then switch to only two bottles a day. Then if you succeed in that kind of sequence, then it is time to hit one per week. Then later do take one per month n you will be able to do without It.
Change your environment. If the environment doesn't accept you as a non drinker.
Be strong have willpower learn to say no just don’t touch it I don’t drink
Ypu are too young for that. Might think about church dear
Find a placeholder, black coffee or cola maybe
Work a lot and keep you away from that friends
